Panzerkampfwagen III The PzKpfw III (Panzerkampfwagen III) was a German medium tank from the World War II era. The first prototypes of the vehicle were developed in 1936, and serial production ran from 1937 to 1943. It was one of the most intensively developed tanks in the Wehrmacht's arsenal, resulting in the creation of numerous variants. The PzKpfw III Ausf. H was the first variant designed from the outset to be armed with a 50 mm cannon. Following lessons learned during the campaign in Poland, a decision was also made to increase its armor protection. Furthermore, a six-speed transmission was introduced; due to the increased weight, the tracks were widened—a modification that also necessitated changes to the drive and idler wheels. Over time, PzKpfw III tanks proved increasingly ineffective in combat against Allied tanks; consequently, in mid-1942, the process of re-equipping a portion of these vehicles with short-barreled 75 mm guns began. Their operational role was also restricted to providing direct infantry support and screening heavy PzKpfw VI Tiger tanks against enemy infantry. Production of the vehicle ceased entirely in mid-1943. Build a model of the Panzer III Ausf. H—one of the most widely deployed German tanks of World War II. Each brick represents a step toward discovering the history of this machine and creating realistic dioramas and battle scenes. This set is an ideal choice for history enthusiasts, collectors and admirers of legendary military vehicles. • 963 high-quality elements • Manufactured in the EU by a company with over 35 years of tradition • Meets safety standards for products intended for... ...children • Fully compatible with other brands of building blocks • Clear and intuitive instructions based on illustrations and step-by-step instructions • Scale: 1:28 Model dimensions (L x W x H): 195 mm x 110 mm x 90 m
